Environment Restoration Fund: Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation

Overview

The purpose of the program is to provide funding to support wildlife rehabilitators (including community wildlife carer organisations, veterinarians, animal hospitals, zoos, local shelter operators and foster carers), to rescue, treat and rehabilitate wildlife impacted by bushfires and return them into suitable natural environments or otherwise take care of them. It will also support actions to preserve at-risk populations of threatened species impacted by destruction of their habitat through bushfire. The investment will also build organisational and carer capacity and preparedness to respond to future emergencies. The 'Close Date & Time' has been extended to 5:00pm 30 June 2021. Updated Grant Opportunity Guidelines available.
